Schedule Overview#

The Schedule app in Pipedream is a powerful tool that allows you to trigger workflows at regular intervals, ranging from every minute to once a year. This enables the automation of repetitive tasks and the scheduling of actions to occur without manual intervention. By leveraging this API, you can execute code, run integrations, and process data on a reliable schedule, all within Pipedream's serverless environment.

Trigger Code#

import schedule from "../../schedule.app.mjs";

export default {
  name: "Custom Interval",
  version: "0.0.2",
  key: "schedule-custom-interval",
  type: "source",
  description: "Trigger your workflow every N hours, minutes or seconds.",
  props: {
    schedule,
    cron: {
      propDefinition: [
        schedule,
        "cron",
      ],
    },
  },
};

This component may be configured based on the props defined in the component code. Pipedream automatically prompts for input values in the UI and CLI.

Label	Prop	Type	Description
Schedule	`schedule`	`app`	This component uses the Schedule app.

MeisterTask Overview#

MeisterTask's API enables automation of task management processes, offering a programmatic way to interact with your tasks and projects. By leveraging the API with Pipedream, you can create powerful, serverless workflows that react to events in MeisterTask, manipulate tasks and projects, or synchronize data across multiple platforms. It's a robust tool for enhancing productivity and streamlining project collaboration.
